I had the opportunity to cook for a small gathering celebrating my youngest grandsons first birthday and wanted to share. I’m not as accomplished a cook nor as verbose as a lot of you here but nobody went away hungry or sick so it was a win win. I cheated and started a coal bed with kingsford for the sake of time. Then added oak wood to cook.
Trimmed the meat that needed it and placed them on when ready. Im not a golfer but the clubs come in handy for saving arm hair when flipping meat over a hot fire.

after they were starting to come off I added French bread which I had buttered with 50/50 butter and margarine plus some grated Parmesan cheese. Cooked those wrapped for a while before browning on grate.
Had a pretty good pot of beans everyone seemed to love. Thanks for looking.

I call BS on not being an accomplished cook. You knocked that out of the park. Lots of tasty food there. The addition of golf club proves your a pro.

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
 
Small gathering??? I would love to see how much you cook for a large one! That whole meal looks great, I would sit down to multiple plates of that!
LOL thank you. You would be welcome anytime.
 
Great looking meal for the celebration. I had a Navy buddy from Santa Maria who lived in the San Fernando Valley who built a pit in his backyard EXACTLY like yours. It generated a lot of smiles, as yours did too, I'm sure.
Thank you. I bet he used the heck out of it. they are a great way to cook and socialize.
